The Greater Lansing Food Bank (GLFB) addresses emergency food needs in the Greater Lansing area. The GLFB coordinates, funds, and supports local food pantries, shelters, and community kitchens. Through its Food Movers program we rescue perishable food and distribute to shelters, community kitchens, senior housing, subsidized housing and other places in our community where there is a need for food. Our Garden Project supports community gardens and low income residential gardens with seeds, plants, information and expertise. It also organizes a substantial gleaning program at MSU and other community farms.

Hunger Action Month and You

Posted on August 24, 2013 - Updated on December 6, 2016

September is Hunger Action Month, a time when Feeding America’s nationwide network of food banks unite to urge individuals to take action in their communities. Working together, food banks across the nation – including GLFB – raise awareness and create momentum to help end hunger in the communities they serve.

This September, join Feeding America and the Greater Lansing Food Bank in taking action. Help us make sure none of our neighbors in mid-Michigan goes hungry. We’re encouraging everyone to show support by wearing orange. But there are many more ways you can help.

Change your Facebook and Twitter profile photos to orange for the month of September

Donate your status and share local hunger statistics throughout the month

You can also find and like Feeding America and the Greater Lansing Food Bank on Facebook.

These are just a few of the ways you can get involved. And, of course, you can donate food, time or money to the Greater Lansing Food Bank!
